  1. Think you will find Miller started off as manager that season but was sacked in February just b4 a crunch match with the huns. Aitken took over and Dodds, Shearer and Jim Macluskey(Ref) saw off the huns only for us to be brought right back to earth 6 days later at Ochil View. Luckily with 7 games left something clicked and the great escape took us to the playoffs. Im in a similar boat in that I got into football in the 1993/94 season (Miller's 2nd and last full season as manager) to which we finished 2nd but I cant recall the team setting the heather on fire. Too many draws cost us the title. The next season Mcleish retired and suddenly the team went to pot. I went for Skovdahl just because he actually managed to get us to hampden and into europe on 2 occasions and had us giving Hertha Berlin a right scare, with a team that had been ripped apart by Alex Miller. yes we got hammered by the old firm almost everytime usually by at least 5 but the time so was every other team in the SPL (everyone remembers us getting lumped 7-0 at parkhead but seems to forget motherwell getting lumped 8-1 at fir park by celtic or St Johnstone getting hammered 7-0 at Mcdiarmed by Guivarch and co). He also was in charge during the best day ive ever had at tannadice (5-3). Aitken may have got us a trophy and Deano but he also thought 750k was worth swapping for Brian o Neil
  2. Thats what 2million others were saying in january
  3. I want you to give us a diary of the events that transpired on protest day I want details of numbers involved, acknowledgement from club members, photos and interviews taken from the press. Once you have done all that I shall respond with the tale of the protest which saw Alex miller sacked. I shall then ask an independant body to compare them and give formal reports on the success of both
  4. And America won the 2nd world war single handed
  5. well considering how shite hes being treated down Brum and rumours of a change of managementdown there too id like to see this line up together in the dugout
  6. Yon turkish trialist we had a few seasons back (Riza) came on for Shrewsbury at wembley today only for the another last minute winner in the english playoffs to send him back down to league 2 for another season :hammer: :hammer:
  7. Now thats a job you dont just fall into. I wonder if she will be so chipper when the hooded hordes of Govan and Parkhead are pissing in her back garden?
  8. Cracking match so far I reckon. Bein played at a furious pace Shaks seem to be ripping bremen apart every time they come forward yet bremen also look dangerous on the counter. Adriano missed a real sitter
  9. why do i get the feeling hes going to get off with a warning http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/8058648.stm
  10. they havent lost to them at tannadice since April 1st 2006 But do either of them have the bottle to get the result they require when it goes to the wire. United need only a draw. Huns need a win unless the jambos aint in holiday mood
  11. Surely the only suitable punishment is that a dons player of our choice is allowed to headbutt Lafferty at any random point during the next match against the blue meenies and receive nothing but a round of applause. of course the chosen player wouldnt be revealed until the deed is done which will make lafferty shit himself the entire game. Be great if langfield decked him just in a one on one situation.
  12. Alan freeland The man who gave us a penalty at Dens Park for reasons unknown to the players, linesmen, managers, and fans
  13. so will hey shed any light on why he has been dropped? have they finally realised that statements such as 'If I had given the penalty I would have had to send Barry ferguson off' dont do the reputation of scottish referees any favours?
  14. if the SPL is anything like the Permiership, stadium big screens are only allowed to show replays of goals.
  15. I wouldnt be surprised if the red card stood. is it not the case you can only appeal a red card if its a case of mistaken identity? or is that only for last man back challenges or goal line clearances from an offside shot?
  16. Just have to hope celtic dont lose tomorrow Even if they only draw, Rangers will still have to go all out for max. points because a celtic win coupled with anything less than a huns win at tanandice will see the championship go to parkhead.
  17. Rangers most expensive ever signing just missed the vital penalty Scunthorpe vs Millwall for a place in the championship. Sky sports knickers must be 'wringing' at that prospect
  18. Rangers most expensive ever signing just came on for the Mighty MK Dons against the Iron. Looks like Penalties are on the card for the misfortune of going to wembly when its full of Millwall fans
  19. Ya stingy bastard Haggle with the printer people. Theres nothing like haggling when yer under severe stress and the bastards keep saying things like 'ooh no son, we couldnt possibly print all that today.' Good luck with is all chief
  20. Leeds united doomed to league 1 football for another season
  21. What is the RRP for a shite pie these days?
  22. get the sneaky suspiscion that we will lose out on goal difference again a la 2004-05
  23. ridiculously hard, not very gifted lost his first team place bad dicipline and being a nutter Sounds like pepper to me. Difference is this guy seems capable of staying on the pitch long enough to score 1 goal a season Ya Cúnt
  24. Another Nigel Pepper then?
